The Final Oath is a rogue-like, survivor-style, deck-building game where chaos reigns, heroes rise, and the only rule is don’t die... again.
This is my take on the survivor genre mixed in with my love for board games. I like difficult games with simple mechanics, so this is my take on simplifying the mechanics, while delivering a challenging experience. Also, I figured out a way to spawn 2000 enemies on screen, at once, in Unreal Engine. I'm pretty proud of myself. LOL
How to Play the Game
There are 4 heroes in the game. Each Hero has their own dedicated Starter Deck consisting of 30 cards.
1. Build your Battle Deck of 30 cards following the rule: 6 Core Cards, 10 Stat Cards and the remaining with Augments and Actions
